New York City's Burning


"After the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968, New York Mayor John Lindsay walked the city streets alongside residents, a sign of respect that helped heal and cool the city. Mayor Bill de Blasio, a Democrat elected on a promise to improve the way black and Hispanic New Yorkers were policed, has played a far less visible role. The lack of moral leadership from the mayor over the weekend was devastating."

Bill de Blasio, the limousine liberal mayor of New York City, must resign now. He has long failed his constituents, excused the brutality of the police department, and is now playing the blame game using right wing talking points all while claiming to understand and sympathize with the voice of the people. Perhaps he can get a job as a lobbyist for his pals in big real estate after he fucks off.
